The second earth is hidden in our solar system Kuiper Belt far from Neptune says new study

The important focus of research of scientists around the world is to search for life outside the Earth. For this purpose, missions are being sent to the Moon, Mars and Venus. More than 5500 exoplanets have been discovered. However, scientists have not yet found evidence of life outside the Earth. In the future, this discovery may reach a turning point, because scientists have found indications of a planet in our solar system, which may be similar to Earth.

NDTV reports that astronomers have discovered signs of the presence of an Earth-like planet inside our solar system. It is estimated that this planet is located in an orbit far away from Neptune.

This information has come to light in a study conducted by Patrick Sophia Likawaka of Kindai University of Japan and Takashi Ito of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. In The Astronomical Journal published Researchers have written in the study that they predict the existence of an Earth-like planet.

Researchers say that the planet whose possibility they have expressed may be present in the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt begins after the planet Neptune. A circular belt surrounds our solar system. There are millions of asteroids, which also contain ice. In between these is the planet which may be like Earth. However, more needs to be known about the orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt. Only after that the existence of any planet present there can be accepted or denied.

It is noteworthy that in search of life outside the Earth, scientists are exploring distant planets and galaxies. He has a special eye on exoplanets. Such planets which do not revolve around our Sun but around some other star are called exoplanets. Space agencies feel that the search for life can be completed on any exoplanet also. This is the reason why scientists have discovered 5502 exoplanets in the last more than 30 years.
